Green Schools

On Monday the 18th of November our Green Schools Committee won an award at the North Tipperary Environmental Awards. The committee works very hard to encourage all students and staff of the school to take on a more environmentally friendly approach to litter and waste and also promotes the conservation of energy in the school.

The committee is applying for its second green flag, for Energy, this year .

School Musical

Rehearsals are well under way for this year’s school musical. Students are busy making sets and practising their singing, acting and dancing skills. ‘Our House’ will be performed in the Premier Hall on the 12th, 13th and 14th of December and it promises to be an excellent show.
